RBSA

Regular Budget Supplementary Account

The ILO’s funding base consists of assessed and voluntary contributions. Voluntary contributions include the Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA), which allows development partners to provide un-earmarked core funding to the ILO, increasing the Office’s capacity to deliver and achieve results at country level.

The ILO allocates RBSA funds flexibly when and where they are most needed. RBSA resources are allocated to ODA-eligible countries only, and are aligned with the results-based framework of the ILO.

In 2016-17 eight governments supported the RBSA with a total amount of US$ 29.3 million. For 2018-19, the target is US$ 36.4 million.
